For several years now, motorized and freestyle scooters have been offering children and active adults the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and demonstrate great skills in addition to fun and excitement. Users can use their scooter outside, on the road or in indoor and outdoor parks.
You may be wondering why you bought cheap when you could get the same District Pro Scooter as your friend. Here’s a detailed guide to buying a scooter to help parents and other customers make the right, informed purchasing decision.
The best way to find the ideal professional scooter is to have an idea of the parts for the destination. Refer to the following detailed parts of the scooter for maximum performance.
Scooter deck
The bridge is the most important part of a scooter; everything has to be built around it. To make them light and strong enough to withstand the rigors of professional scooter towers, the high-end decks are made of aircraft aluminium. Standard industrial cranes are supplied with a sturdy hull and a steering tube. Most decks are supplied with a pre-installed helmet, a so-called integrated helmet, while some decks are supplied without a helmet, a so-called non-integrated helmet.
Scooter chopsticks
Scooters come in different sizes, styles and types. They can be made of steel or aluminium, the former representing the majority of ingots on the market. Although the diameter of most Oversize Roller Bars (OS) is 1 3/8 inch, the industry standard diameter (STD) is 1 1/4 inch. It is important to remember that the choice of attachment points for the scooter, especially with regard to the dimensions mentioned above, influences the choice of clamps and forks. Different types of scooters are only available for aesthetic reasons.
Scooter fork
One of the most important parts of the scooter is the fork, which goes through the ball head and connects the arrow, the axle and the front wheel. These details come in different strengths, styles and weights, so you need to be sure to make an informed decision about them. The rods and forks are connected to a compression system. Wireless forks, which are mainly used on high-end scooters, are considered more robust and offer better performance at the same time. The type of fork chosen has an influence on the most suitable wheels. Choosing the Envy Declare fork is not the same as choosing the Lucky Indy fork, so always make an informed decision.
Professional dog helmet
Another essential part of the total scooter installation, the helmet, determines the overall feel of the ride of the scooter and the tricks. This part allows the fork to rotate in the head tube so that users can steer the scooter. A headset consists of several parts, including the fork barrel, the corresponding bearings and bushings, and the top cover, to ensure proper operation. The smooth operation in combination with the high quality of the scooters is due to the use of a sealed headphone in combination with a screwless fork and compression system. It is important that you consider the use of an integrated headset with pre-installed ear cushions in the head tube, because handling this assembly is quite difficult to say the least.
Rollerball Pliers for Rollerball Pro
A clamp is used to hold the tyres together and ensure that they rotate in unison. The range available on the market today includes four, three and two terminals. Each name is used to indicate the number of bolts available on the clamp to attach the stems to the fork tube. When shopping you will find clips from different manufacturers in different designs for different performance levels. To build the best professional scooter, you need to choose the most reliable and powerful clamps.
Wheels above the scooter
The wheels of the scooter influence the feel and appearance of your professional scooter. These important parts consist mainly of two elements, the core and the urethane. However, the available choice of core designs and urethane mixtures used is very different, making them look very different. Although some wheels have a plastic core, only wheels with a metal core can withstand the manoeuvres, tricks and stunts of a professional scooter; the former easily fall apart after a short period of use. The size of the wheels, which must be adapted to the fork used, varies from 100 to 125 mm. The bigger the wheel size, the faster the scooter has to be. It is important to note that harder urethane wheels are better for driving faster, while softer wheels offer better grip.
Compression per roll
The compression system is used to create a stable connection between the bars, shaft and fork; this part is crucial to assemble a well controlled (solidly built) scooter. The lack of a stable connection can lead to injury or damage to various parts of the scooter. Cheaper scooters are usually supplied with a screw compression system. However, the Standard Compression System (SCS), Reverse Compression System (ICS) used in UrbanArtt Pro scooters and the Hidden Internal Compression System (HCS) are among the most robust, stable and powerful compression systems used by advanced professional scooters. They are much better than string variations.
Professional self-locking roller brake
The brake of the scooter is normally attached to the rear of the axle with a screw or bolt mechanism, depending on the model. There are two main types of brakes for scooters: spring or disc brakes. Professional scooters generally use these because of their efficient and quiet operation. The flexible brake is simply a piece of steel designed for a comfortable circumference of the rear wheel, with the brake mounted at the rear of the axle.
The above information will help scooter buyers find high-quality parts that are used to assemble a high performance scooter. However, if you don’t want to customize your own scooter, you can always use the above information as a guide to find the perfect and complete scooter; it comes out of the box ready for use.
